Merci beaucoup for the instructions Carlos,

But what a long and cumbersome process, having to instal so many
dependencies, and having to reinstall Evince from source, and install
GTK-3.0, Gail-3.0, libxml-2.0, gnome-keyring, libnautilus-extension (so many
dev lib required) on top of that, whenever the Evince site writes that XPS
is one on the supported documents formats, this is just not the case,
definetely not out of the box as any user might expect. Especially when on
the same machine Okular.
Finally after spending a half-hour on this, it dos not even work Evince now
won't start. I had to reinstall form deb and still no XPS vewing. I DON't
know what went wrong, but what a waste of time.
You guys really ought to work on making this work for us, either the Evince
team or Canonical.

Thanks for your help Carlos.

Regards,

Alain-Olivier Breysse
